Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid deodorant composition for eliminating various unpleasant odors, particularly stools, garbage, and vomiting and offensive odors from pet animals. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many deodorants for removing unpleasant odors are known and commercially available. As a general usage form of such a deodorant, a liquid deodorant is immersed in a core material having a capillary force and the deodorant is continuously volatilized into the atmosphere by a capillary phenomenon, or a liquid deodorant is used. There are spray type that deodorizes manually or by spraying with a propellant and diffuses into the atmosphere, and type that sublimates solid chemicals such as jelly, etc. Deodorizes inside, deodorizes garbage, and deodorizes indoors such as cigarettes and pets.

[0003]

All of the above-mentioned types of deodorants are advantageous for eliminating malodors that have spread over a relatively wide range, but they do not produce strong malodors that rapidly occur in a narrow and limited range. It is not enough to deodorize quickly and almost completely with a small amount of deodorant, and it is not economically advantageous because it is a type that constantly emits aroma and deodorizes. In particular, it is almost helpless with regard to odors that are strongly unpleasant odors in the living environment, such as odors generated during stools, rotten odors emitted from garbage, and odors of vomitus.

Among them, various types of deodorants are used for deodorizing a strong offensive odor generated during stool use, but it is important to keep the deodorant volatilized in the toilet at all times. The consumption is extremely large, which is not economical, and it does not directly act on the source of the odor generated by the stool to deodorize quickly, but to rapidly increase the amount of deodorant for deodorization. Since it is difficult, it requires opening windows and auxiliary means such as ventilation fans. However, opening a window or using a ventilation fan does not improve the deodorant effect even if it results in the deodorant effect diminishing because it also removes the deodorant that had filled the room out of the room. It has many challenges to solve.

In view of the present situation, the present invention eliminates the offensive odor generated during the urination by dropping a few drops on the surface of the water in the toilet for deodorization and control of harmful insects when using the toilet. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a deodorant composition that can be removed almost completely.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the deodorant composition of the present invention comprises, in menthol, one or more selected from plant essential oils and terpenes in the plant essential oils. It is characterized in that the deodorant component prepared by mixing is dissolved in a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol having a high boiling point.

In the present invention, as the menthol, not only a natural product mainly containing 1-menthol extracted from peppermint oil but also a commercially available synthetic product can be used.

[0008] The plant essential oil blended in this menthol is
Orange oil, lemon oil, obtained by squeezing the skin of citrus fruits,
Peel essential oil such as tangerine oil, peppermint oil obtained from plant leaves, lemongrass oil, lemongrass oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil and camphor oil.

Examples of terpenes in such plant essential oils include citral, limonene, cineol, linalool and terpineol. Among these terpenes, citral and limonene are mainly contained in lemongrass oil, cineole is mainly contained in eucalyptus oil, linalool is mainly contained in lavender oil, and terpineol is mainly contained in camphor oil. It is also contained in essential oils.

These terpenes may be those extracted from natural products, but they may be synthetic products as long as they can be produced inexpensively and easily. Further, such plant essential oils and terpenes are appropriately blended alone or in combination of two or more.

The high-boiling-point water-soluble polyhydric alcohols that dissolve the deodorant component are high-boiling-point water-soluble polyhydric alcohols having a boiling point of 150 ° C. or higher, for example, a boiling point of 2
Butyldiglycol at 30.6 ℃, boiling point is 202.7 ℃
Ethyldiglycol, a boiling point of 197.2 ° C ethylene glycol, a boiling point of 244.3 ° C diethylene glycol or other dihydric alcohol consisting of glycols, and a boiling point of 290 ° C such as glycerin or a trihydric alcohol are preferably used. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The deodorant component is blended with the menthol in the range of 3% (% by weight; the same applies hereinafter) to 15%, preferably 5% to 13% with respect to the total amount of the composition, and the plant essential oil is added. And the terpenes in the vegetable oil are appropriately blended in a range not exceeding 35% based on the total amount of the composition as the total amount with the menthol.

This vegetable essential oil and terpenes in the vegetable oil, depending on the type, exhibit a deodorizing effect by a synergistic action with the menthol with a small amount of addition, and deodorize with a relatively large amount of addition. Therefore, it is difficult to say unconditionally, but the essential amount of fruit peel oil such as orange oil, lemon oil, or mandarin oil is 2 to the total amount of the composition.
12%, plant essential oils such as peppermint oil, lemongrass oil, lemongrass oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil and camphor oil, and terpenes such as citral, limonene, cineole, linalool and terpineol are 0.03% in total. The amount added is preferably about 5%. When the deodorant component exceeds this range and becomes excessive, that is, when it is blended in excess of 35% with respect to the total amount of the composition, the odor of the deodorant component is too strong and unpleasant feeling occurs during use. On the contrary, when the amount is too small, sufficient deodorization tends not to be achieved.

The deodorant composition of the present invention may be colored with a coloring agent, or may be prepared by separately adding an aroma component such as other plant essential oil to give a desired aroma. May be.

[0015]

The deodorant composition of the present invention is mainly composed of menthol, which is a kind of mint, and various deodorant components selected from plant essential oils and terpenes therein, which are mixed with a high boiling point. It is made into a liquid by dissolving it in water-soluble polyhydric alcohols, and by removing a small amount of this deodorant composition directly at or near the site where the malodor is generated, the unpleasant odor can be quickly eliminated. , This can be atomized and sprayed, but it is not particularly necessary.

The disappearance of unpleasant odor is selected from menthol, which is a main deodorant component by dropping a small amount at the target unpleasant odor generating site, plant essential oil blended with this, and terpenes therein. It rapidly absorbs the bad odor generated by the synergistic action with the deodorant component, but at the same time, the water-soluble polyhydric alcohols that dissolve these deodorant components are uncomfortable with the deodorant component due to its high boiling point. It is presumed that it stays for a relatively long time without volatilizing at the odor generating site, and further promotes the synergistic action of the individual deodorizing properties of menthol and other deodorizing components, and exerts an excellent deodorizing effect.

For example, for the purpose of deodorizing the offensive odor caused by the excrement in the toilet, even if a small amount of the deodorant composition is dropped in advance in the toilet and a stool is discharged, the odor emitted from the excrement is generated. It never rises and gives an unpleasant odor to the user, and does not give an unpleasant stimulus such as cold air to the buttocks. This is because while high-boiling water-soluble polyhydric alcohols are rapidly dissolved in water by dropping into the toilet, deodorant components that are not soluble in water are stagnated as a thin film on the water surface and these deodorant components are excreted. It is considered that the odor volatilized from the substance is efficiently taken directly into the toilet to deodorize it, and a part of the deodorant component is gradually volatilized and released to the outside of the toilet without causing discomfort.

On the other hand, a deodorant composition prepared by using a low boiling point monohydric alcohol such as methanol or ethanol as a solvent without using the high boiling point water-soluble polyhydric alcohols as a solvent for the deodorant component is , Deodorant components are used for deodorizing tentatively, low-boiling alcohol volatilizes as a vapor, and the exposed buttocks of the toilet are unpleasantly stimulating like cold air, and it can withstand actual use. It was something I couldn't get.

Since the user's subjective factor is strong in the olfactory response to the deodorant component, the determination of the odor by the deodorant component does not necessarily influence the necessity of the deodorant composition, but it has a low boiling point with a high vapor pressure. It was overwhelmingly held that the irritation to the buttocks, which is presumed to accompany the evaporation of alcohol, is unacceptable for practical use because most users find it uncomfortable, but the deodorant composition of the present invention is not. There is no discomfort.

When the deodorant composition of the present invention is used for the above-mentioned feces, it is possible to achieve the purpose of deodorizing more completely before using the feces, but use it after the feces. You can also do it.
